Description
You don't need any building bricks for these digital design challenges (though your students can build a physical model if you do have them available). Not only are these satisfying to build digitally, your students will hone a variety of tech skills while completing colorful and fun designs.
✅ What You'll Get ✅
- 40 Standard Building Brick Challenges (choose from outline included or advanced, NO outline included). 10 per season
- 16 Bonus Building Challenges (advanced design, symmetry design, free build, color swap) 4 per season
- Editable Skill Checks - have students work on a variety of math or ELA skills by changing the editable template, or use one of the pre-made skill checks I have included (counting bricks by type, color, finding area, determining symmetry, writing a descriptive or instructional paragraph). Because this is editable and includes both basic and advanced templates, this activity is suitable for a wide range of grades.
- Printable Recording Sheet (optional)
- Video Overview to show various tech skills that students can use, including:
- ✅ Copying/pasting or duplicating
- ✅ Inserting text boxes
- ✅ Changing transparency of an object
- ✅ Rotating, mirroring/flipping
- ✅ Recoloring objects
- ✅ Mouse skills
Why digital?
Digital building brick challenges can be used to build tech skills and also you won't need to take the bricks apart or clean up afterwards.
- These can be used on any device where you can use Google Slides!
- Never run out of bricks! Even if your students use all of the bricks included in the templates, they can always duplicate the bricks so that there are more.

If you are relying solely on trackpad/touch pad or touching a screen, your students may have trouble placing the bricks precisely. For this reason, you may wish to provide either a mouse/keyboard or a stylus to help with precise positioning. This can also be done using Shift + arrow keys. The other option is to have students just do the best they can, or build the designs with actual building bricks. The bricks do not "snap" into place as this is not an app, but an activity in Google Slides.
